Story
The Childrens Air Ambulance has partnered up with Skydive GB once again for its Keeping Hope Alive Parachute jump in Yorkshire and is set to take place on Sunday, 24th July 2022.
The parachute jump offered is a 10,000 ft. Tandem Skydive Tandem skydiving is where you're secured to a highly experienced instructor, so its the best and easiest way to experience the thrill of skydiving. After a short training session, all the participant needs to do is enjoy the jump and let the instructor do all the hard work!
This is not just for adrenaline junkies, as you fall from 10,000 feet you feel a real sense of freedom, when the parachute opens, the tranquillity kicks in and you'll see what its like to fly like a bird.
When tandem skydiving in Yorkshire you will see the Yorkshire Coast like never before. The white cliffs of Flamborough Head, an area of outstanding natural beauty, is only a short distance away. If the visibility is good you can follow the coastline from Whitby, right down to the Humber Bridge and beyond.
The Childrens Air Ambulance is an inter-hospital transfer service flying babies and children from one hospital to another for specialist care. We work with 10 NHS paediatric and neonatal retrieval teams across the UK, enabling them to bring their specialist equipment on board to safely transfer their patients from one hospital to another.
If a child is too sick to fly then the Childrens Air Ambulance can fly a specialist team directly to them. With our ability to fly approximately four times faster than a land ambulance, we can minimise travel times and the risk for little patients.
